Taken at a local car yard .. who are having a sale ... there just happened to be a blue wall with a blue car and they were giving away blue ballons. I like the strike of the sun reflecting off the bonnet onto the wall.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

Aesthetic: You are really lucky to have got this setup but I feel you did not took full advantage of the shot which was offered. Overall a nice picture but there are distracting elements also.

Technical: The edges look little softer but the image seems to be well exposed.

Challenge: This certainly is BLUE ...so it fits the challenge perfectly.

Conclusion: This is an average composition. I think different angle might have helped. Again some basic stuff needs to be taken care of. Image is bit flat and it needs work on contrast. Some overall sharpening is needed. The gate seems to be distracting and different crop or angle would help. But yes- the red of tail-light is complimenting the blue and makes the blue stant out. Relflection look great.

I did not voted for this challenge but would have given anything between 5-6 for this one. I must admit that you have got eye for interesting stuff :)

You have got much better pictures in your profile ..and offcourse- a cool bike. Looking forward to more picture from you.

I'm by no means expert in area of photography. My comments are purely based on my limited understanding of technology and art behind digital photography. Apart from doing detailed evaluation of your submission, my intent is to learn different styles of photography by critically evaluating selective submissions. If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via email or PM.

Wish you a great day!

I like the red of the tail light amdist all that blue. Might have been cool to have red balloons as well.

Well, first of all. This being a Basic Editing, I can't wait to hear what you did to it. What a catch. It is a joy to look at the different angles, they seem so right. And then the colours, lovely blue and then the red to make a wonderful contrast. It gives the blue extra depth. Reflections add icing to the cake. Well done.
